KSL is reporting a story about ammo found on a bus, read it here.

There's a funny quote:

The magazine clip belongs to an expensive gun. Harrisville Police Chief Max Jackson said it goes with a "high-priced, top-dollar, six hour .40 caliber handgun."

So what's a "six hour" handgun?!? Sig Sauer? :ROFL:

Oh, and what's a magazine clip? I didn't know magazines had clips... do they mean paper clips? So is it a magazine or a clip, or a clip for a magazine? I don't think they really know. Maybe they should read this.

The media crack me up, the ignorance is astonishing and somehow so horribly pathetic.

No wonder it's expensive! It has such a capacity that you can shoot it for six hours... :shocked: :lol2:

might have been one of those "High cap" paperclips that kali is always complaining about!! :ROFL: :lolbang: :lol3: :ROFL:

On channel 2 a cop showed the magazine (NOT "clip") and it had Sig P220 on the side. The thing that's most interesting about this whole thing is that the Sig P220 is a very common, standard issue LEO duty weapon. Perhaps that's the reason no one is claiming it???

Someone apparently tipped of ksl that it was "Sig Sauer" instead of "six hour" as it's now fixed on their website.

I love it. The media does not seem to understand the difference between a magazine and a clip. In this case they just use both words . . . magazine clip. I always get a kick out of it. However, the six-hour reference is even better. :lolbang:

Well, I can't complain when the media corrects their errors. Kudos!

I understand the difference between a magazine and a clip, but the fact is that clip has been used to refer to a magazine for darn near 100 years, so I think it makes little difference. Everybody knows exactly what you're talking about when you use clip.

I agree that it doesn't matter that much, but I'm not so sure that it's true that "clip" has been used to refer to a magazine for "darn near 100 years".

AFAICT, the source of the confusion is WWII and earlier infantry rifles that did use a clip, NOT a magazine.

Excuse my noobliness, but would somebody mind explaining the difference?
